Twittercast: Shoutcast / Icecast Song Title To Twitter Status PHP Script

[dopelabs]

i have it running on 7.4.7 without any issues that i know of... i can only assume it would also work on 8.0.. but not tested.

[sounds]

Ok cool,

I checked the modules for PHP 7.4 and have all 3 installed.

sockets
curl
pcre

I have some issues to take care off, when I run shoutcast.php I get

Error 503 Backend fetch failed
Backend fetch failed

Web Servers: nginx-varnish-apache

I have a cron job setup in CentOS Web Panel
sitename php -q /home/site/public_html/twittercast/twitter.php that runs every 5 minutes.

Cron: https://snipboard.io/MGPDrH.jpg

I'm probably missing something.

503 sounds like a permissions problem or web server misconfiguration... did you set up an app and get api info from twitter developer site?

[sounds]

Yes, I set up a new app in twitter dev console..

App Permission: Read and write and Direct message
App Environment: Publication.

I contacted the data-center and they said it looks like the vanish cache was misconfigured.
Altho it was an automatic switch when I changed the web server to nginx-varnish-apache.

I'll try it again.

EDIT

I got it working with the shoutcast.php file

Will there be any issues with too many requests to the server?
I'm gonna set this script to auto-tweet every 10 or 15 minutes.

I want to use it for several other streams - auto-tweet to the same twitter account.

Just to add,

For a cron job in CentOS Web Panel I used:
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/site/public_html/twittercast/ambient/shoutcast.php

Or if you don't want to run your own cron:
I also tried UpTimeRobot.com to run shoutcast.php every 5 mins, that worked too

[dopelabs]

yea im pretty sure cron isn't the issue here... have a look at your php and web server error log files...

[sounds]

I got it working in the end thanks

[sounds]

I had another idea, what about hosting the files free on Git.
Then pinging shoutcast.php with FreshPing or UpTimeRobot.

Just checking this is still working because mine has stopped..

[sounds]

@Busby just checked mine, if it's the same script I got from here TwitterCast, it's still working for me.

[Busby]

I see Elon has removed all unless you pay..

[Busby]

Just checking if it's still working for everyone as mine isn't and nothings changed..

Doesn't work anymore.

[Busby]

Doesn't work anymore.

Many thanks..
